From isolation to detection, advancing insights into endothelial matrix-bound vesicles

Matrix-bound vesicles (MBVs), an integral part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), are emerging as pivotal factors in ECM-driven molecular signaling.This study is the first to report the isolation of MBVs from porcine arterial endothelial cell basement membranes (A-MBVs) and thyroid cartilage (C-MBVs), the latter serving as a negative control due to its minimal vascular characteristics.Using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Nano-Tracking Analysis (NTA), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), we orthogonally characterized Toddler Tops the isolated MBVs.We detected the presence and preservation of vascular endothelial cadherin (CD144) in A-MBVs, its low to non-detetcted in C-MBVs, in which SOX9, a chondrocyte marker, was detected.

Moreover, we developed a prototype of an immuno-functionalized screen-printed electrode designed for the immunoadsorption of CD144+ MBVs.This device facilitated the electrochemical detection of the targeted vesicles and allowed for their subsequent topological characterization using AFM, which verified the integrity and morphology of tattoos CD144+ MBVs post-immunoadsorption.These advancements enhance our comprehension of MBVs as conveyors of tissue-specific signals and pioneer new avenues for harnessing their cargo in biomedical applications.This research sets a significant precedent for future studies on the application of MBVs in regenerative medicine and ECM signaling.
